On the other hand, if a part of the broadcast data needs to be extracted (825), the server 140 calculates a partial extraction region from the broadcast data based on the broadcast data progress section identification information (835), and the calculation result Extracts predetermined broadcast data by cutting the broadcast data corresponding to the broadcast data storage request data (or signal) from the broadcast data management server 200 on the basis of, or from the broadcast data management server 200. The broadcast data corresponding to the broadcast data storage request data (or signal) is extracted and truncated (840).

When the broadcast data for storage is extracted as described above, the server 140 transmits the extracted broadcast data to the user-designated device of the broadcast data receiving terminal 300 (845), and the broadcast data is transmitted to the broadcast data. When predetermined processing (eg, format conversion) is required, the server 140 performs the broadcast data processing.

According to the present invention, the broadcast data storage request data (or signal) is transmitted through a broadcast data operating apparatus (or a server) on a communication network during (or before or after receiving) broadcast data at a predetermined broadcast data receiving terminal. It solves the limitation of broadcast viewing time by broadcasting by storing and managing in a predetermined storage medium associated with a receiving means user and transmitting desired broadcast data to a device designated by the broadcasting receiving terminal user at a desired time. This has the advantage.
